In March 2021, the nomination committee of the Company (the ''Nomination Committee''), after having reviewed the profile of the Retiring Directors who have offered themselves for re-appointment at the Annual General Meeting to consider their suitability in light of the structure, size and composition of the Board, nominated the Retiring Directors to the Board for it to recommend to Shareholders for re-election as Directors at the Annual General Meeting. Ms. Lan Fang and Dr. Tao Zhigang who are members and present at the meeting of the Nomination Committee, abstained from voting at the meeting of the Nomination Committee when his/her nomination was being considered. The Board accepted the nomination by the Nomination Committee and recommended the Retiring Directors to stand for election by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

The nominations were made in accordance with the nomination policy of the Company and the objective criteria (including but not limited to: (a) attributes complementary to the Board, (b) business experience, board expertise and skills, (c) availability, (d) motivation, (e) integrity, (f) independence and (g) diversity (in all aspects), with due regard for the benefits of diversity as set out under the board diversity policy of the Company). The Nomination Committee had also taken into account the respective contributions of the Retiring Directors to the Board and their commitments to their roles.

In recommending each of Ms. Lan Fang, Dr. Tao Zhigang and Ms. Lu Jiandong to stand for re-election as an independent non-executive Director, the Nomination Committee has considered the following backgrounds and attributes of the nominees concerned:

  1. Ms. Lan Fang has been an independent non-executive director of the Company since 1 January 2015 and thus has served the Company for more than 6 years. Ms. Lan has been the President of Guangdong Construction and Decoration Materials Association since March 2008 and the President of Guangdong Construction and Decoration Design Association since August 2014. She has accumulated over 23 years of experience with respect to the administration of social organization and in the industry of construction and decoration materials, which is an area of expertise complementary to the business and operations of the Company. Ms. Lan has confirmed to the Company that she would be able to continue to devote sufficient time to the Board, and she does not have any relationship with any other Directors, senior management or any substantial or controlling shareholders of the Company.
  2. Dr. Tao Zhigang has been an independent non-executive director of the Company since 1 September 2015 and thus has served the Company for more than 5 years. Dr. Tao is Professor of Economics and Strategy in the Faculty of Business and Economics and the director of the Institute for China and Global Development, the University of Hong Kong. The Directors noted the positive contribution of Dr. Tao and his in-depth academic knowledge of economics and formulation of strategies, which greatly complement the expertise and skills of the Board. Dr. Tao has confirmed to the Company that he would be able to continue to devote sufficient time to the Board, and he does not have any relationship with any other Directors, senior management or any substantial or controlling shareholders of the Company.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase the Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions, and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company. The Directors consider that there may be adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2020, in the event that the proposed Share repurchase was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors do not propose to exercise the mandate to repurchase Shares to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or its gearing levels.

GENERAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors or any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) intended to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Proposed Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) had notified the Company that he had an intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or had undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved.

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases. Such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF PROPOSED REPURCHASE MANDATE

(as defined in the Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders' interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and so far as was known to the Directors, Mr. Wong Luen Hei, an executive Director and the parties acting in concert (as defined in the Code) with him were interested in a total of 2,132,407,000 Shares, representing 68.73% of the aggregate number of issued Shares. On the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date, in the event that the Directors exercise the Proposed Repurchase Mandate in full, the shareholdings of Mr. Wong Luen Hei and the parties acting in concert (as defined in the Code) with him in the Company would be increased to 76.37% of the aggregate number of issued Shares as reduced by the exercise of the Proposed Repurchase Mandate in full. Mr. Wong Luen Hei and parties acting in concert with him would not be required under Rule 26 of the Code to make a mandatory offer pursuant to such increase. The Directors have no present intention to exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares proposed to be granted pursuant to the Proposed Repurchase Mandate.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the total number of issued shares would be held in public hands. The Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares being held in public hands.

The Company had not repurchased any Shares on the Stock Exchange or otherwise during the 6 months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
